Heidi says: Happy New Year! It's me! Feeling a little better so it's time to say hi. I posted some pictures of my last days in 2007.

I'm not well enough to do most of the things I like/am used to do, but I am truly getting better. My biggest problem right now is the fact that I am faint, don't have a lot of air, and am not hungry and when I eat, I don't keep my food in very long. But the difference with the 'beginning' of my pneumonia, on the 24th of December, is huge. I was walking in the city with Wout, when all of a sudden I felt a stinging pain in my chest and shoulder. We kept on walking, but I was so in pain I was almost in tears. Once at home, I started to cry and I knew that something would come out of this. That evening, we went to Nico's parents and there I started to shiver and had to lie down in the couch all evening. I had 39 degrees of fever and so wasn't able to celebrate Christmas evening at all. The morning after, I woke up with 39,5 degrees of fever, and so we called for a doctor. He thought I had tha beginning of pneumonia and told me I had to go to the hospital for photos of my lungs, which I did the day after. It was pneumonia indeed. Since then, I haven't been out of the house at all, and haven't celebrated any of the special days, which is weird. I really love the Holidays and normally like to celebrate them with everything I have got. Now I have the feeling that there was no Christmas and New Year. The week of holiday Nico and I were longing for so much, just passed and everything we wanted to do together couldn't happen because of me and my pneumonia. That feels bad and I feel responsible, although I couldn't help it. But on the other hand, we did get some sort of family time and rest, and maybe, in the end, it will have done us good... Who knows? :)

Now up to real health and energy, because that is what I need! I haven't been feeling good at all lately, was always tired and didn't have any lust for life. I believe the pneumonia was already settling in for a while, and that might explain the way I felt the last months.

SO 2008: YEAR OF GOOD ENERGY AND HEALTH AND HAPPINESS! For all of us! Please!
